Beta Glucans for Yeast and Restoring Immune System Function

Beta glucans for yeast, candida, and fungal infections can be very
beneficial since they stimulate neutrophils and macrophage activity
throughout the body. These are the primary immune system cells
responsible for removing fungi of all kinds. They also attack foreign
bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells. Most beta glucan is extracted from
bakers yeast, shitake and maitake mushrooms, and from oats and barley.
These products are more effective if they use a purification process
that removes the mannoproteins and yeast residues leaving pure 1,3/1,6
beta glucans.

Beta glucans for yeast bind to phagocytes and macrophages at
certain receptor sites, which activates their infection and tumor
fighting abilities. It seems to cause these cells to produce free
radicals which signals the white blood cells to engulf diseased tissues,
bacteria, foreign pathogens, fungi, and tumor cells.

Beta glucan stimulates the production of cytokines used in
cell-to-cell communication that stimulates the macrophages to inhibit
tumor reproduction and to kill the tumor.

In scientific studies done on mice with cancer, mice treated with
beta glucans had a 28% greater survival rate than those without.

The Journal of the National Cancer Institute in 1975 reported
that nine cancer patients were injected with beta glucan directly into
the tumor. All nine people had a reduction of tumor cells within five
days and also experienced the subsequent destruction of the cancer from
increased immune system activity.

Studies in Japan have seen a subsequent five to six-year longer life span of cancer patients that received the extract.

Researchers at Brown Medical School and Rhode Island Hospital
discovered that beta glucans for yeast caused the neutrophils to take a
more direct route to the infection. This study seemed to indicate the
enhanced ability of the neutrophils to detect foreign invaders in the
body including yeast.

In a study done on anthrax and mice it was found that beta
glucans for yeast stimulate the production and activation of white blood
cells in the bone marrow. This results in higher levels of neutrophils
and macrophages, which are the first immune system cells to defend
against bacterial, fungal, and viral infections.

According to a recent double-blind, randomized, crossover study
published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, consumption of
beta glucans for yeast and psyllium four times daily is likely to
significantly reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Am J
Clin Nutr. 2002 May;75(5):834-9

One study involving over 12,000 subjects ages 45 to 64 who
participated in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (ARIC),
which tracked the health of participants from four communities in
Mississippi, Minnesota, North Carolina and Maryland for 15 years. 3,363
of these subjects were black and the rest were white subjects.

The beta glucans for yeast recommended here was the #1 immune
system product out of 440 products (mostly prescription) evaluated by
the US Army against lethal doses of anthrax spores in controlled
laboratory tests (JANA Vol. 5, No. 2, Spring 2002: 16-20).

This published JANA article also shows test data documenting over
a 20% reduction in tumor weight after three (3) weeks of beta glucan
usage.

Beta glucans for yeast has recently been included in testing by
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in
collaboration with the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious
Diseases.

There also have been over 1,600 research papers on Beta 1,3-D
Glucan since the 1960s. Research from the prestigious medical schools of
Harvard, Tulane, Baylor, and Washington Universities all attest to the
immune activating properties of Beta Glucan.

Remember this simple fact about the published research on Beta Glucans for Yeast:

There is absolutely NO published research on Beta Glucan with an
active linkage below 80%. All the existing scientific research strongly
points to the fact that any Beta Glucan product with an active linkage
below 80% will not work!

The active linkage is simply the 1,3 and 1,6 linkage in the Beta
Glucan product. If its not 80% or higher, the product will not work.

Beta 1,3D Glucans will:

Supercharge your immune system to kill yeasts and fungi.

Increase cell-to-cell communication so it is easier for the immune system to identify foreign invaders and toxic cells.

Protect you from flu’s and other viruses.

Help the immune system remove cancer cells before it spreads.

Protect you from anthrax or other biological weapons in the event of a terrorist attack.
